EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from the Mechanics' Magazine in London, dated September 1832, showcases Baron von Drais's revolutionary invention - the bicycle or "Draisienne" as it was known back then. The image captures a momentous event in transportation history when this two-wheeled contraption was first exhibited in Paris in 1818. Baron Karl von Drais, a German inventor and civil servant, created this early version of the bicycle to provide an alternative mode of transport during a time when horse-drawn carriages dominated the streets. With its simple design featuring two wheels connected by a wooden frame and handlebars for steering, the Draisienne offered individuals newfound freedom to travel independently. The woodcut print beautifully illustrates the elegance and ingenuity of Baron von Drais's creation, showcasing how this innovative vehicle paved the way for modern-day bicycles that we see today. It serves as a reminder of how one man's vision and determination can lead to groundbreaking advancements that shape our world. As we admire this historical artifact preserved through art, let us appreciate the impact that Baron von Drais's bicycle had on transforming transportation systems and inspiring future generations of inventors and engineers.
